Drawing Together
Drawing Together is a visual sense-making technique where participants use five simple symbols to tell a story about a challenge, journey, or experience without using any words. The technique bypasses verbal dominance and logical thinking to surface feelings, patterns, and insights that words alone cannot reach.
